What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera at Rosswald, a small resort above Ried-Brig in the Upper Valais, at about 1,849 meters. The panorama shows wooden chalets, a ski slope with a lift, larch forests and a wide view across the Rhône valley to the high peaks on the other side.
Rosswald lies near the Simplon Pass route between Switzerland and Italy, and MeteoSwiss uses the camera to follow weather along flight routes over this part of the Alps. You may see clouds rising out of the valley, snow showers sweeping across, and clear days with crisp views of the snowy summits. In winter the resort is covered in snow and busy with skiers; in autumn the larch trees turn bright gold; in summer the meadows are green and dotted with hikers. Foehn from the south and cold fronts from the north-west both leave clear marks on the sky here.
The camera saves a panoramic still image every ten minutes and switches to an infrared filter at dawn and dusk for black-and-white images. A practical tip: the time stamp on the picture is in UTC, so add one or two hours for Swiss local time.
